Oberhofen am Thunersee

Drive around Lake Thun, going the high road, not the easy coastal lake road, and find Oberhofen - dating from the 13th Century, passed into the hands of the Austrian Habsburgs, then the Bernese from the north (also German-speaking), other comings and goings and, ultimately a museum, and now an independent foundation again. See ://www.schlossoberhofen.ch/en/home/history/; remembering that schloss means castle.

We even tried to find more of its history using the non-English, and find little. Still looking. Who were the original people?
